Define an SCCM configuration

To create catalog items for SCCM software deployment or to configure your instance to
revoke software through SCCM, you must first associate that software with a collection
through an SCCM configuration.

Before you begin

Before you create an SCCM configuration record, make sure you have discovered the
SCCM applications, collections, and deployments and set up the necessary software
models.

About this task

The SCCM configuration process associates software with SCCM collections. To deploy
software from an SCCM server, the user or device must be a member of an SCCM collection
associated with an install deployment. To revoke software, the
user or device must be a member of an SCCM collection associated with an
uninstall deployment. Client Software Distribution (CSD)
allows you to revoke unentitled software using an SCCM server when that software can be
removed using an uninstall deployment.

Field

Description

Name

Recognizable name for this SCCM software
configuration.

SCCM application

Name of an application hosted on the SCCM
server.

SCCM collection

Name of the collection associated with the
install deployment for the
selected application on the SCCM server. Only those
collections associated with the application are
available for selection.

SCCM uninstall collection

Name of the collection associated with the
uninstall deployment for the
selected application on the SCCM server. You must
specify a uninstall collection to be able to revoke
software from a user's machine.

Discovery model

Discovery model that links the unentitled software
installation with the SCCM configuration. From the SCCM
configuration record, Client Software Distribution can
determine which collection to use to revoke the
software. Unentitled software is software found on the
user's machine that the user is not entitled to
use.
